B04 Register emergence and register change in Germanic
Lars Erik Zeige arbeitet mit dem Schwerpunkt Variation und Wandel des Deutschen, sowohl empirisch als auch theoretisch. Sein besonderes sprachhistorisches Interesse gilt dem Althochdeutschen, das im SFB-Teilprojekt B04 ‚Entstehung und Wandel von Registern im Germanischen‘ gemeinsam mit dem Altschwedischen erforscht wird. Zuletzt hat er zur Präpositionalgruppe im frühen Althochdeutsch gearbeitet und dabei Formen einer variationsbasierten Grammatikschreibung und -darstellung erprobt. Die Basis dieser Forschung bildet das Referenzkorpus Altdeutsch, dessen wissenschaftlicher Leiter er ist. Ein durchgehendes Thema seiner Arbeit sind die Theorien sprachlichen Wandels, zu denen er mit dem Modell der Sprache als Struktur sozialer Systeme einen eigenen Ansatz vorgelegt hat.

Beier, Phil; Schnelle, Gohar; Unverzagt, Silke; Norde, Muriel; Zeige, Lars Erik (2023) BiNoKo V. 1.0 Birgitta-Notker-Korpus [DOI] [ViVo] The Birgitta-Notker-Korpus (BiNoKo) is a resource dedicated to comparative research on historical registers. The corpus comprises two sources: The Old High German Book of Psalms by Notker III of Saint Gall and the Old Swedish Revelations of Birgitta of Sweden. The subcorpus of Birgitta's Revelations and the subcorpus of Notker's Psalms are available as separate zip files. The corpus format is ANNIS. For local installation, use ANNIS Desktop. The documentation for ANNIS can be found here:

We define ‘register’ as recurring variation in language use depending on the function of language and on the social situation. Informed by rich data, we aim to better understand and model the knowledge involved in situation- and function-based use of language register. In order to achieve this goal, we are using complementary methods and measures. In the review, we start by clarifying the concept of ‘register’, by reviewing the state of the art, and by setting out our methods and modeling goals. Against this background, we discuss three key challenges, two at the methodological level and one at the theoretical level: 1. To better uncover registers in text and spoken corpora, we propose changes to established analytical approaches. 2. To tease apart between-subject variability from the linguistic variability at issue (intra-individual situation based register variability), we use within-subject designs and the modeling of individuals’ social, language, and educational background. 3. We highlight a gap in cognitive modeling, viz. modeling the mental representations of register (processing), and present our first attempts at filling this gap. We argue that the targeted use of multiple complementary methods and measures supports investigating the pervasiveness of register phenomena and yields comprehensive insights into the cross-methodological robustness of register-related language variability. These comprehensive insights in turn provide a solid foundation for associated cognitive modeling.Beier, Phil; Schnelle, Gohar; Unverzagt, Silke; Norde, Muriel; Zeige, Lars Erik (2023) Guidelines for the Birgitta-Notker-Korpus (BiNoKo) In: REALIS: Register Aspects of Language in Situation [DOI] [ViVo] The Birgitta-Notker-Korpus (BiNoKo) is a resource dedicated to comparative research on historical registers.

The following paper is an extract from the frame text of the proposal for the CRC 1412, which was submitted to the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft in 2019, followed by a successful onsite evaluation that took place in 2019. The CRC 1412 then started its work on January 1, 2020. The theoretical part of the frame text gives an extensive overview of the theoretical and empirical perspectives on register knowledge from the viewpoint of 2019. Due to the high collaborative effort of all PIs involved, the frame text is unique in its scope on register research, encompassing register-relevant aspects from variationist approaches, psycholinguistics, grammatical theory, acquisition theory, historical linguistics, phonology, phonetics, typology, corpus linguistics, and computational linguistics, as well as qualitative and quantitative modeling. Although our positions and hypotheses since its submission have developed further, the frame text is still a vital resource as a compilation of state-of-the-art register research and a documentation of the start of the CRC 1412. The theoretical part without administrative components therefore presents an ideal starter publication to kick off the CRC’s publication series REALIS.
